This is also why apps like Duolingo don't work for most users. They want to turn language learning into a fun, effortless game but effortless is fundamentally incompatible with lea…

It is crazy how much of the tech industry - one of the biggest industries on Earth - still uses so much volunteer labor. Its crazy because in no other industry would people expect …

Too much self-awareness can cause you to become blind to the experiential part of life. Like, when you're at a party, not having fun, but instead thinking: "I am drinking alcohol t…

It's interesting how this compulsion to work spread even to people that don't need to do it. Just look at how many modern-day billionaires are still flaunting how many hours they w…

I hope they kill the internet. Mandatory ID scans might be the last push I need to stop wasting my time on Reddit.

Because children shouldn't be the ones paying for the crime of having bad parents. Children should be safe regardless of what the parents do, because they're independent people and…

Because we live in a society and trillion dollar companies exploiting children for the crime of having negligent parents is bad. The aim here is to protect the children. "Just let …

Maybe this is because video games can always add more features. Realistically, what useful feature could even be added to Word? I want to write text. It lets me write text. Program…

Wouldnt this be countered by the opposing country running the same prompt on themselves first and fixing all the flaws? One country having this is a cyber superweapon but every cou…

This doesnt work when all of his friends are playing Roblox and play each others games on there

The median household income in the US is like 83K, which means half of all households survive with less than that. And most households have two earners. Even New York City has a me…

If a native speaker didn't pass a C2 exam, it's not because they don't understand the language well enough, it's because they are bad at reading/writing as a skill and might make e…

The thing that makes this illogical to me is that once you reach basic fluency, you stop needing to study since you will now be automatically improving your language skills every t…

I would disagree about it not being "easy". Learning a language certainly takes time and effort, but the fact that even the dumbest people in society can speak fluently, that liter…

Yeah, B1 is not even nearly fluent, on my B1 exam Spanish I had to roleplay with the examinator going to a store to return something after buying the wrong item. This is like, bare…

This is very obvious any time you try to create exhaustive lists of something. For example, for every country in the world, I would recognize it and say, yeah, thats a country. But…

Its very true for humans as well. For example, if you ask someone to "name 100 historical figures", they will have a very difficult time. But there are of course hundreds of histor…

The strongest endorsement for PeerTube is that it cannot sustain creators and thus will only either 1) freeboot off of platforms that do or 2) be flooded by low effort slop?

I think this is the only way for new platforms to ever rise in this space. A video sharing website is not a social media platform, it's a streaming platform. The real competitors t…

The problem with this is that creating the content you watch costs a lot of money and labor. As a user I would see a grocery store where everything is free as an advantage... utill…
